Titanium Gold vs. Brass Xpole

I'm trying to decide between the titanium gold or brass x-pole. I know this is a somewhat subjective question, but I want to know what people would recommend. I love the brass poles I've danced on at work and in studios etc, but I don't know if the removeable xpole will be as sturdy since it's a softer metal. I also haven't been able to find many reviews of the brass xpole, which makes me a little nervous. My biggest problem when it comes to grip is that I have very dry skin. I''m very conscentious about moisturizing daily but my skin still can be so dry at times that it feels almost powdery and makes gripping the pole difficult. I used grip aids that are helpful, but in terms of pole finishes, which do you guys think would be better? I would also definitely love to hear from people who own or have tried the brass xpole.
